Moff PSA Chapter 86

86 A payer of David.

86 Bend thine ear to me, O thou Eternal, answer me,

for I am weak and wretched;

2 Oh save my life, for I am true to thee,

rescue thy servant who relies on thee.

3 Thou art my God, be gracious, O Eternal,

for all day long I cry to thee;

4 gladden the soul of thy servant,

for on thee, O Lord, I set my heart.

5 Lord, thou art kind and ready to forgive,

rich in thy love to all who call on thee.

6 O thou Eternal, listen to my prayer,

and hear my pleading cry;

7 I call upon thee in my hour of need,

for thou wilt answer me.

8 There is no god like thee, O Lord,

there are no deeds like thine;

9 all nations thou hast made shall come

and bow down before thee,

glorifying thee, O Lord,

10 for thou art great, thou workest wonders,

thou, only thou, art God.

11 Teach me what is thy way, O thou Eternal,

how to live loyal to thee;

may reverence for thee rejoice my heart.

12 With all my heart I thank thee, O my God,

for ever will I glorify thee;

13 for thou hast a great love to me, O Lord,

saving me from the very depths of death.

14 Proud creatures are assailing me, O God,

a gang of ruthless men would murder me,

men who care nothing for thee.

15 But thou art a God pitiful and gracious,

slow to be angry, rich in love and loyalty;

16 turn and have pity upon me, O Lord,

grant thy strength to thy servant,

help thy retainer;

17 let me have some sign of thy favour,

a sight of thine own aid and consolation,

to the dismay of those who hate me.
